Practical help for connecting your instructional decisions to your students’ needs.
FRAMING LITERACY:
Teaching/Learning in K-8 Classrooms

Frances Mallow and Leslie Patterson
with contributions by Becky Bracewell, Susan Brenz, Holly Pitts, Judy Wallis, and Leigh Van Horn

In a unique blend of research-based theory and practical classroom-tested assessment and instructional strategies, you see clearly how to connect the instructional decisions you make with your students’ actual needs. The authors present their concept of Literacy Frames as a way to help organize all the assessment information you need to make informed decisions about your students’ instruction — with particular emphasis on reluctant or struggling learners.
